Former SA province Premier’s PA set to appear in court after US extradition

Date: Aug 12, 2024

Moroadi Cholota, the former personal Secretary of former Premier of South Africa’s (SA)Free State Ace Magashule, is set to appear in court this Monday, following her dramatic return from the United States (US) last week.

By Ishmael Modiba

Cholota, who had been studying in the US, was extradited to SA to face charges related to the alleged irregular awarding of a R255 million ($13,93 million) contract in October 2014.

The tender was meant to remove asbestos roofs from houses in the province.

Magashule and several others are also accused in the case, with some already out on bail.

But it’s not clear whether the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court in the Free State will grant her bail.
